[QUOTE="klmno, post: 301167, member: 3699"] After reading some other responses, it made me wonder about a couple of things. 1) Are you sure it is the idea of taking medications at all or could it be something like hating to swallow a pill or the taste it leaves in her mouth? 2) Can you talk to the dr about getting something in a liquid form (I can't remember which one, but I [I]think[/I] a couple of these medications come in liquid). Otherwise, the only thing I can think of is trying to hide the pill in something to sneak it down her, like we do our dogs. I feel for you. Also, I wanted to add that when things are in crisis mode and I feel my son's or someone else's safety is at stake, yes, I would lie, and have lied, to get him to a psychiatric hospital or to a crisis center. Maybe that is similar to your current situation. I'm also wondering if in-home therapy is an option for you and if it would help- if they have a type of therapy like this where you can call someone for help any time there is a crisis. And, if "arresting" her is out, do the courts have something like our CHINS where you can get court involvement to get backup for making a child comply with treatment? [/QUOTE]
